2/6 OpenBioForge aims to faithfully recreate the BioForge engine with QoL improvements. BioForge's most criticized aspect? Controls and combat. I'm tackling that head-on. #RetroGaming

3/6 BioForge uses root motion for all movement - animations drive character movement directly. This explains issues like unresponsiveness and faster backward walking.

5/6 Pros: Better responsiveness, consistent speed, acceleration support, simpler collisions, future analog control. Con: Potential foot slippage, which I'm minimizing with careful tuning and blending.
